Hey guys i was just wondering if anyone had any idea how to disable the ATESSA system to lock it to RWD. I've heard rumours its as simple as removing a fuse but i can't find the information i need to guide me. I only what this to be temprorary as i've become fond of the AWD system but what a chance to drive it as a RWD car before i change my tyres lol

any help would be greatly appreciated, as would links to any similar threads.

cheers

R32 just yank the fuse, R33/R34/Stagea is different and there are different ways which some will tell you wont cause damage and some will tell you will, but sure fire way is to just remove the front drive shaft, and put back in when you want awd goodness :laugh:

Its under the dash....does 4wd and ABS, so its not fun doing high speed braking with it pulled out....

just run a switch to flick it on and off, makes it easy, but be careful doing so, usually ya gotta turn off the car to change between 4wd and 2wd or aparently you can do damage to the atessa...or atleast flick it on idle

theres a fuse under my bonnet saying "ptc heater/4wd"

Thats the one! yank it out - instand 2wd. Have done this many times (i own a r32 yes) doesnt hurt anything all is good. Makes it easy if you have access to only a 2wd dyno which i why i pulled it out.

Have fun! :D

The fuse under the bonnet is for the attessa motor, pulling it shouldn't kill abs. (doesn't appear to on mine anyways)

The fuse under the dash is for the control unit, this kills abs cos it is also the abs module.

dirtgarage has a group buy running for an easy to install harness to do just that.. in the group buy section. If you have to ask how, it might be better that you go that way.

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
